PREVIEW: GRAYS ATHLETIC

Saturday 16th August – KO 3.00PM

It’s time for the Emirates FA Cup and we welcome Grays Athletic to Top Field in the Preliminary Round.

We have faced Grays Athletic 35 times in the past, the last time we met was in January 2004 when we welcomed them to Top Field for a Ryman League fixture. That match featured players including Richard Wilmot, Jon Bone, Ian Scott, Darran Hay and Mark Burke on the teamsheet. Hitchin narrowly took the win 1-0 following a goal from Mark Bridge in the 65th minute.
